Sleeps two — designed for writers, semi-retired travelers, sabbatical stays, and wine country house hunters who want privacy without a full house. 30-night minimum. Quiet hours: 22:00 to 08:00. Pets: Not allowed. Smoking: Not allowed. Events: Not allowed. Suitable for: children. Reason: Children not allowed Infants not allowed.. . Minimum Age to Book: 21 Additional Rules may apply in Guest Guide Book MINOR PEST & WILDLIFE POLICY: We do not offer refunds for minor pest issues or wildlife encounters. While our properties are regularly treated and well-maintained, our natural environment may lead to occasional encounters with common insects like ants or spiders. It's also possible to see local wildlife, such as mice, chipmunks, or even bears, as they are a part of the surrounding landscape. These sightings do not indicate a dirty or poorly maintained home, but simply reflect the wild setting of the area. This is a private 850 sq ft cottage on a quiet, fully-fenced lot in McMinnville — a small standalone space designed for one or two people who want a month of privacy in Oregon wine country. It's the right fit for: writers on a draft, creatives on a project, semi-retired travelers, students, traveling nurses, couples doing a wine country month without needing space for visitors and pre-relocation singles testing McMinnville before buying. The layout. - Open-concept living room, dining area, and kitchen — all flowing together - One bedroom with a queen bed - A second small room with a daybed and a desk (good as a workspace or for occasional visitor) - One full bathroom with tub/shower combo - Foyer entry, fenced yard, large deck Workspace. - The daybed room doubles as a quiet office — desk under a window looking out into trees. For solo travelers it's the work room; for couples, it's where one of you can take a call without interrupting the other. Wifi is high speed, strong enough for video calls and remote work. Kitchen — read carefully. The kitchen has a built-in oven, microwave, toaster, full-size refrigerator, and a two-burner hot plate instead of a traditional range. You can absolutely cook for a month here — bake, roast, simmer, or sauté. All necessary cookware, knives, and dishes are provided.Heating and cooling. Mini-split heat pump units in both the living room and bedroom — modern, quiet, efficient. Heats well in winter, cools well in summer. The Willamette Valley sees both extremes and these handle them. Laundry: in-unit washer/dryer. The deck and yard. Spacious deck off the living area, looking into mature trees. Outdoor seating for morning coffee or evening reading. The yard is fully fenced with a gated driveway — your space is genuinely private, not visually shared with neighbors. Guests have full access to the entire cottage, the lanai, and the fully fenced yard. The gated driveway provides secure on-site parking — close the gate behind you for full privacy. This is a self-contained property, not a room or unit attached to another home. Self check-in at 4 PM via smart lock. Code provided before arrival. Check-out at 10 AM, with flexibility for monthly guests when our schedule allows. Whether you need recommendations for hidden gems in our vibrant community or simply desire the uninterrupted enjoyment of your temporary home, know that a Cascadia Getaways vacation home is not just a place to stay; it's a testament to the warmth and authenticity of local hospitality. We desire that every detail reflects our love for our community and our genuine joy in welcoming you to our slice of paradise. Your journey into relaxation begins with us, but the experience is uniquely yours to savor. It's our goal never to miss an opportunity to communicate with you.

Lisa and Jen were very responsive and easy to get a hold of with any questions we had. Quiet and relaxing setting in a lovely neighborhood. The area was very walk-able and we enjoyed the nearby linear parks for evening strolls as well as the redwoods growing nearby on several streets. The grounds and home were well maintained and well stocked with everything you need to get started for a long stay. The only thing, and this is not a reflection on the hosts, was if you have a second vehicle and park it on the street for more than a few days in the same spot you can expect a notification from the parking enforcement to move it. That said its not a ticket and the officers are very accommodating and pleasant to deal with and with a little maneuvering 2 vehicles can fit in the allotted space in the driveway by the house. It was a great place to stay for us as we looked for an apartment and we recommend it for anyone moving into the area!

Lisa & Jen are great hosts. They communicate very well. They are kind and thoughtful. They wished me well on graduating college and left me gifts. The place is ideal for 1 person. I enjoyed my stay I just wished I could rent it for longer.
